Jazz big man Jaren Jackson Jr. to reportedly miss 6-8 weeks, which stings even more after Walker Kessler move

The Utah Jazz face a significant frontcourt crisis following the news that Jaren Jackson Jr. will be sidelined for up to two months due to a torn MCL.

The injury occurred during a collision with Ty Jerome in Monday's loss to the Memphis Grizzlies. Lauri Markkanen also exited the same contest with a wrist issue, further depleting a rotation already missing the injured Jusuf Nurkić.

This personnel shortage is compounded by the team's recent decision to trade Walker Kessler to the Los Angeles Lakers, leaving the roster thin on interior options as they attempt to navigate a difficult 1-3 start.
